Iran, Armenia to Confer on Regional Developments
TEHRAN (FNA)- Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian is due to
visit Tehran on Saturday to discuss the two countries’ bilateral
relations and exchange views over regional developments in meetings
with senior Iranian officials.
Upon his arrival on Saturday, Nalbandian will be received by his
Iranian counterpart Ali Akbar Salehi. The two officials will hold a
mutual news conference at the end of the meeting.
The Armenian official is also scheduled to take part in bilateral
meetings to discuss economic and political matters as well as regional
issues with Iranian officials.
In recent years, Iran and its Northern neighbor Armenia have signed
agreements on energy cooperation and agreed to cooperate in technology
and research and to enhance ties in commerce and economy.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his Armenian counterpart
Serzh Sargsian pledged in December 2011 to further expand “high-level
relations” between their nations and, in particular, give new impetus
to the implementation of joint energy projects that have fallen behind
schedule.
